Global Warming: How long can you tread water?

This week’s global warming predictions included oceans rising by one meter (about 39 inches) in the next 50 to 150 years, regardless of any future actions to curb greenhouse gases.

Thankfully, down from earlier predictions of 30 feet and more!!

The article is accompanied by this picture. (If not with the article anymore, go here and look for the article Rising Sea Waters To Wash Away US History.)


Apparently the rise of one meter will drown the Statue of Liberty and New York City will fight some sort of Armageddon lightning storm.

Between the global warming, terrorists, illegal aliens, obesity and "the gays," Rights Boy is getting scared shitless.

What else should we be scared of?

Rights Boy forgot to be scared about socialized medicine in this country taking away his HMO's right to pick his doctor for him and deny treatment for his previously existing or uncovered medical condition.

And Britany's drug usage.

Right's Boy, you're all wet about global warming. Just because the earth is warming naturally doesn't mean that green-house gasses aren't making things worse.

Anonymous, you may be right that I am all wet. It wouldn't be the first or last time. :-)

The real question is what can we or should we do about it? We can't bankrupt the world to drop the temp a degree.

I say figure out how to live with it. Look at it as an opportunity, like the folks that are creating the Carbon Offset Trading market. Brilliant! I understand that many folks in Greenland are happy to see it turning green again.

Seriously, Rights Boy recycles, mulches, got a gas-efficient auto and tries to minimize his footprint in general. What should we do? Another concert?

And Anonymous, Britney does not use drugs! She is a stable, responsible adult, fighting for custody of her children and setting a great example for young people everywhere.

Another fine product from Disney.

By the way, Mr. "socialized medicine" anonymous is not the same person as Mr. "global warming" anonymous. At least not as long as I keep taking my socialized drugs.

And no, I won't "leave Britany alone..."
